[Opinions] Eivor
https://www.behindthename.com/name/eivor/submittedSaid AY-vor, it's a girl's name. I'm a big fan of the Assassin's Creed games and this is the main character in the most recent installment, Valhalla. It takes place in the 9th century Norway and England (and some of Ireland and France). Eivor is a viking woman whose people move to England. Hearing her name said so often has really made it grow on me - I think it's quite a pretty sound. The AC games have a history of using some great names, like Altair and Ezio. WDYT?

Oh, at first I thought this was a variation of Ivor and I was all ready to say how much better Ivor was, lol. Whoops. I don't know if I like it, but the name has the potential to grow on me. I think I would eventually butcher it into something like "AY-ver" which is both better and worse.

It's used in Sweden as well so I'm used to the name but I don't like it. It's very dated (like my grandmother's generation) as are all other -vor names (like Majvor). I dislike how the name sounds and looks

A grandma name! That's so hilarious because my only associate is the badass viking in the video game haha I wonder how funny it must be to play that game with that association... it'd be like if her name were Doris or Gladys here, I imagine. Hard to picture!

IT makes me think of Igor, which puts me off. Other than that, though, it reminds me of sweet names like Elise and Aiven. I find it a little weird to pronounce.
